Digital camera reviews of Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter
Digital camera Review: DOES work in China. The other reviewers didn't try hard enough.
Summary: 5 Stars
Several people have said that this adapter does not work in China. I just got back home from a two-week trip encompassing Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong and this adapter worked in every single place.
It is true that some outlets (the ones with diagonal sockets) have a sort of "trap door" which makes it difficult to plug the adapter in, but I found that it's easy to work around that. What you need to do is angle the diagonal prongs downward as you insert them into the socket, and gently tap at it until the trap door pops open and allows the plugs in. It does take 5-10 seconds of jiggling around to make the door pop open, but the adapter _IS_ 100% functional and works totally fine once you get it into the socket.
Digital camera Review: Decent little gadget!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this adapter to travel in Southeast Asia. I had no trouble in Singapore or Indonesia. However, in a few other places the outlets had a round recessed part and this adapter is slightly out of round which prevented its use on several occasions. It did work in more situations than adapters that several of my traveling companions had.
Make sure you understand that this is an adapter and not a power converter!
Digital camera Review: Did not work in the UK
Summary: 1 Stars
Stayed at two hotels in the UK and this device did not work in either one. Would love to get a refund of this piece of junk. I have a number of other Kensington products, all of which work reasonable well, so this is a particular disappointment. Luckily for me, both hotels had built-in US plugs.Digital camera Review: Did not work!

I tried to use the adapter in 4 different outlets in Germany. It did not work in any of them. I plug in a roommate's adapter into all 4 outlets and her adapter worked. It was disappointing to find out when I was out of the country.Digital camera Review: Did the job
Summary: 5 Stars
Worked great for me in Chile, Paraguay and Brazil. No issues encountered so far.
